Hi Janet, I have just seen this old post from 2007. I found it interesting and am sure I have a connection to Joseph and Mary. My 4 x grt grandfather was William Eagles Davis bn about 1790. He married Elizabeth James in 1811. They had Elizabeth Mary Davis 1813, Ann Eagles Davis, Caroline Davis and Joseph Matthew Davis in 1820, all Bermondsey. William is a brick wall. Am wondering if you have found any further information about this family. Val in Australia :-) :-)
